Transmigrating to the Song Dynasty: Water Margin Business Management

Zhao Tianming's team was ambushed by the enemy on their way down the mountain, and shouts of battle erupted everywhere.

"Brothers, watch out!" Zhao Tianming shouted.

Suddenly, a large number of enemy troops surged out from all sides and surrounded them.

Despite the danger, Zhao Tianming remained calm and quickly assessed the surrounding situation. He discovered that although the enemy forces were numerous, their formation was not without weaknesses.

"Brothers, charge with me!" Zhao Tianming took the lead, brandishing his weapon and charging towards the enemy's weak point.

The Liangshan heroes were all brave and fearless, closely following behind Zhao Tianming, and engaged in fierce fighting with the enemy.

However, the enemy seemed to be well-prepared, and new troops were constantly joining the battle, and Zhao Tianming and his men gradually became bogged down in a bitter struggle.

"This can't go on, we must break through as soon as possible!" Zhao Tianming was extremely anxious.

Just then, a Liangshan hero discovered a small path behind the enemy lines, which might be the only way out.

"Brother Zhao, there's a small path over there; maybe we can break through there!"

Zhao Tianming made a quick decision: "Brothers, follow me and charge down the side path!"

They fought their way up the path and, after a fierce battle, finally broke through the enemy's encirclement.

However, during the breakout, many brothers were injured, and the team was scattered.

Zhao Tianming led the remaining brothers to temporarily hide in a remote mountain village.

"Everyone, take a break and treat your wounds," Zhao Tianming said.

Meanwhile, Gao Ke and Yelü Hong were furious to learn that Zhao Tianming had escaped.

"A bunch of useless trash, you can't even handle this simple task!" Gao Ke cursed.

Yelü Hong pondered for a moment and said, "It's alright. They can escape for a while, but they can't escape forever. We will continue to strengthen the blockade so that they have nowhere to go outside."

On the Liangshan side, Song Jiang and the others were deeply worried when they learned that Zhao Tianming had been ambushed.

"We must find a way to bring Brother Zhao Tianming back," Song Jiang said.

Wu Yong pondered for a moment and said, "Brother, the enemy's blockade is currently very tight, and it would be difficult for us to break through by force. It would be better to send someone to secretly search for Brother Zhao Tianming's whereabouts and then make our move when the opportunity arises."

Song Jiang nodded in agreement: "We will do as the strategist says."

Meanwhile, in the mountain village, Zhao Tianming was taking care of his injured brothers while pondering how to return to Liangshan.

At this moment, an old man from the village came over.

“Brave warriors, I know you are heroes of Liangshan, and you are fighting for the people. But now there are enemy troops everywhere outside, and it won’t be easy for you to go back,” the old man said.

Zhao Tianming clasped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you for your concern, sir. We will definitely find a way."

The old man thought for a moment and said, "I do know a small path that might lead us to avoid the enemy's blockade. But this path is extremely treacherous, and very few people have ever traveled it."

A glimmer of hope flashed in Zhao Tianming's eyes: "Old man, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we are willing to try."

Guided by the old man, Zhao Tianming led his brothers onto this treacherous path.

Along the way, they overcame numerous difficulties and were finally getting close to Liangshan.

But just then, the pursuers sent by Gao Ke and Yelü Hong caught up again.

"Zhao Tianming, you won't escape this time!" the pursuers shouted.

Zhao Tianming stopped and turned to face the pursuers: "Brothers, let's fight them!"

Another fierce battle ensued, with the Liangshan heroes fighting to the death.

Just as they were beginning to falter, shouts of battle came from the direction of Liangshan. It turned out that the reinforcements sent by Song Jiang had arrived just in time.

Under the combined attack from both inside and outside, the pursuing troops were repelled, and Zhao Tianming and his men finally returned to Liangshan.

However, the crisis at Liangshan was far from over. Due to the prolonged siege, Liangshan's supplies were extremely scarce, and morale was beginning to waver.

Seeing that Liangshan had not yet surrendered, Gao Ke and Yelü Hong decided to intensify their conspiracy.

They sent people to spread rumors in the martial arts world, saying that Liangshan was doomed and would soon be wiped out by the imperial court, in order to damage Liangshan's reputation.

At the same time, they secretly colluded with some bandits to attack Liangshan's grain transport teams, further cutting off Liangshan's supply of materials.

Inside Liangshan, Song Jiang, Wu Yong, and others urgently discussed countermeasures.

"The situation is critical, and we must find a way to thwart the enemy's plot," Wu Yong said.

Song Jiang asked, "Does the strategist have a good plan?"

After a moment of contemplation, Wu Yong said, "We can send out several elite teams, disguised, down the mountain. On the one hand, we can strike at the bandits who attacked our grain transport teams, and on the other hand, we can gather intelligence and find weaknesses in the enemy's defenses."

Therefore, Liangshan sent several teams down the mountain.

One of the teams, led by Wu Song, successfully ambushed a group of bandits who were attacking a grain transport team at the foot of the mountain, and learned some of Gao Ke and Yelü Hong's plans from them.

Another team, led by Lin Chong, gathered some intelligence in the capital that would be beneficial to Liangshan.

However, Gao Ke and Yelü Hong quickly realized Liangshan's actions and adjusted their strategy again.

They set up more traps around Liangshan, waiting for the Liangshan heroes to take the bait.

Liangshan is once again in crisis.

Just then, Zhao Tianming proposed a bold plan.

“We can exploit the enemy’s greed and set up a trap to lure them in,” Zhao Tianming said.

He explained his plan in detail, and Song Jiang, Wu Yong, and the others felt it was worth a try.

Liangshan began preparations according to Zhao Tianming's plan.

They deliberately spread rumors that a treasure had been discovered in the mountains of Liangshan.

Gao Ke and Yelü Hong were indeed tempted upon hearing this news.

“This is a golden opportunity; we must obtain this treasure,” Gao Ke said.

They dispatched a large force to march towards Liangshan.

The Liangshan heroes had already laid an ambush along the way.

When the enemy entered the ambush, the Liangshan heroes suddenly attacked.

The enemy forces were thrown into chaos and suffered heavy casualties.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Gao Ke and Yelü Hong turned around and fled.

The snow fell exceptionally heavily tonight, with large flakes fluttering down as if trying to cover up all the evils of the world. Seeing the situation was dire in the chaos, Yelü Hong and Gao Ke turned and fled without hesitation.

They trudged through the snow, the biting wind lashing their faces like knives, but they paid no heed to the pain. Yelü Hong was filled with regret and fear. "We really underestimated Liangshan's strength. If we can't escape, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Gao Ke was panting heavily, his usual imposing manner completely gone. "What am I going to do? Am I going to die here?"

The two ran desperately through the vast snowfield toward the agreed-upon mountain path, where Jōjun was waiting with a group of Japanese ninjas.

Jingchun, draped in a black cloak, stood beneath a withered tree, his face somber. Beside him stood the Japanese ninjas, each with a lithe physique, their faces masked, revealing only their sharp, cold eyes.

"Why aren't they here yet?" Kiyoharu Ashie thought anxiously, gripping his katana tightly.

At this moment, Yelü Hong and Gao Ke finally appeared at the end of the line of sight.

"They're here! Get ready!" At Jōshun's command, the ninjas immediately went on high alert.

Yelü Hong and Gao Ke saw the people who were there to meet them, and a glimmer of hope welled up in their hearts, making their steps even more hurried.

"Quick! Quickly save us!" Yelü Hong shouted.

When they reached them, they were so exhausted that they almost collapsed to the ground.

Jiaogen Jingchun quickly stepped forward to support Yelü Hong, "My lord, don't panic, we're here."

Gao Ke gasped for breath, "Quick, take us away, the Liangshan people will be here soon."

Jingchun nodded, "Everyone, escort the master away quickly."

The ninjas quickly formed a circle, protecting Yelü Hong and Gao Ke in the middle.

However, just as they were about to set off, the shouts of the Liangshan heroes came from behind them.

"Oh no, they're coming!" a ninja exclaimed.

Jiao He Jingchun's face darkened. "Don't panic, prepare for battle!"

A group of Liangshan heroes, armed with weapons, charged towards them menacingly.

Kiyoharu drew his katana, shouting, "Ninjas, let's fight to the death to complete this mission!"

The ninjas drew their weapons and confronted the Liangshan heroes.

Lin Chong charged ahead, shouting, "Don't even think about escaping!"

Jingchun rushed forward and engaged Lin Chong in fierce combat. Swords and spears clashed, sending sparks flying.

Other ninjas also joined the Liangshan heroes in a fierce battle. For a time, swords clashed and shouts of battle filled the air.

Under the protection of the ninjas, Yelü Hong and Gao Ke continued to retreat.

"We can't let them get away!" Wu Song roared, charging towards Yelü Hong and Gao Ke.

Two ninjas stepped forward, trying to stop Wu Song. Wu Song was agile and knocked the ninjas to the ground in a few moves.

The heroes of Liangshan were all brave and skilled in battle, and the ninjas gradually found themselves at a disadvantage.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Jingchun shouted, "Cover the lord, I'll cover the rear!"

Having said that, he unleashed all his skills and fought desperately with the Liangshan heroes.

Under the desperate protection of the ninjas, Yelü Hong and Gao Ke gradually moved away from the battlefield.

Seeing that they were about to escape, Lin Chong became anxious and thrust his spear at Jingchun's heel.

Jingchun was unable to dodge in time and was stabbed in the shoulder, but he still gritted his teeth and continued to resist.

"Hurry up!" he shouted.

Finally, Yelü Hong and Gao Ke disappeared into the snow.

Knowing that the mission was complete, Jingchun feinted and then turned to flee.

The Liangshan heroes wanted to give chase, but they had already lost track of them on the snow.

Lin Chong stared in the direction they had left and said angrily, "They got away! We won't let them get away next time!"

The snow continued to fall, as if telling the story of this unfinished struggle.

With the desperate cover of Jiaogen Jingchun and the Japanese ninjas, Yelü Hong, Gao Ke, and the others managed to temporarily escape the pursuit of the Liangshan heroes. After a long journey, they arrived at a tavern.

The group, looking disheveled, entered the tavern and found a quiet corner to sit down. The waiter, seeing their flustered expressions and disheveled clothes, was suspicious but dared not ask further and quickly went to greet them.

"Bring up all the best wines and dishes from your restaurant!" Gao Ke shouted.

Soon, the food and wine were served. Everyone disregarded their manners and began to wolf down the food.

After eating for a while, Gao Ke put down his chopsticks and sighed heavily: "This defeat was truly unexpected."

Yelü Hong's face was gloomy as he said, "Those bandits from Liangshan are far more difficult to deal with than we imagined."

Gao Ke nodded. "Our previous strategy was too complacent and must be changed."

"Then what do you think should be done?" Yelü Hong asked.

After a moment of contemplation, Gao Ke said, "We can't keep fighting head-on like this. We need to find a way to dismantle them from within."

"Internal disintegration?" Yelü Hong's eyes lit up. "You mean sending someone to infiltrate Liangshan?"

Gao Ke shook his head. "It's not that easy. The Liangshan group is very united, and it's difficult for outsiders to infiltrate them easily. But we can use their relationship with the surrounding people to spread rumors, make the people fear and misunderstand them, and cut off their foundation."

Yelü Hong nodded slightly, "This plan is feasible, but it still needs further consideration."

Gao Ke continued, "In addition, we must strengthen our ties with the imperial court and strive for more military and resource support."

Everyone nodded in agreement, agreeing that Gao Ke's idea made some sense.

Just then, a commotion suddenly erupted outside the tavern. Everyone was startled, fearing that the Liangshan men had caught up with them. Gao Ke cautiously walked to the window to look and, finding it was just a common street argument, breathed a sigh of relief.

After this series of twists and turns, they became even more determined to change their strategy and deal with Liangshan again.
